(chorus 1)
White lines (vision dreams of passion)
blowin through my mind (and all the while I think of you)
Pipe cries (a very strange reaction)
for us to unwind (the more I see, the more I do)
something like a phenomenom (baby)
tellin your body to come along, but white lines, blow away....

Blow... Rock it... Blow..

Ticket to ride, white line highway
tell all your friends that they can come my way
pay your toll
sell your soul
pound for pound cost more than gold
the longer you stay, the more you pay
my white lines go a long way
either up your nose or through your veins
with nothing to gain except killin your brain

A million magic crystals
painted pure and white
a multi-million dollars
Almost over night
twice as sweet as sugar, twice as bitter as salt
and if you get hooked baby
its nobodyelses fault, so don't do it!

Don't you get to high (don't you get to high baby)
Turns you on (you really turn me on and on)
told you to come down (my temperature is risin)
when the thrill is gone (no, I don't want you to go)

A street kid gets arrested
gonna do some time
he got out three years from just to commit more crime
a business man is caught, with 24 kilos
hes out on bail and out of jail
And that's the way it goes... Rrrhuh!

Sugar... Cane (repeat 2x)

Ahletes reject it
governors correct it
ganstars, thugs and smugglers are throully respected
the money gets divided
The women get excited
now I'm broke and its no joke
Its hard as hell to fight it, don't buy it

Freeze... Rock (repeat 4x)rrruh.. Go

Get higher baby
Get higher girl
get higher baby.. C'mon! Rruh

(repeat chorus 1)

Little jack horner
sittin in a corner
with no shoes or clothes
this aint funny
but he took his money
And sniffed it up his nose

(repeat chorus 1)
